The world is melting

I think my ice-cream feels the same way.

Sometimes I believe in the melting of icebergs, I can just picture it. When it is +35 outside with no big prospects of cooling down and all you can do is sit in the coolest room of your house or go look for the conditioner in some cafe - trying to walk on the shadowy side; and all you can eat is ice cream and fruits - luckily, there are just so many of them at this time of the year, and even more luckily I am in the country where you can have peach for dinner every day.

How do they survive this heat, these Georgians? I think the answer is that it all comes with experience - they just don't know what it's like to have a cool rainy summer. When you don't have with what to compare, you don't want to escape there.

Yet Georgians have their own methods of cooling down. In case you get in a heat-related troublesome situation, I'll share some of it:

• If you have a car and see any mountains nearby, just get in and go there immediately. Cool breeze up there is the greatest thing of all + beautiful views come as a bonus (just don't forget the sunscreen!);
• If you are a man and have a big belly, pull your T-shirt up on top of it. Works for women too, but for men it's just so much more impressive (I couldn't find a proper picture, but just use your imagination:));
• If you are a woman, use a fan - you know, the one from paper or other materials, like this. It will not only help to make some wind, but could become an exclusive accessory. For men this will not work - if you want to look seriously in the eyes of others, you won't engage in this 'women's stuff'. Almost the same applies to carrying an umbrella;
• Go rafting. It was one of the most enjoyable days, with a little bit of extreme medium amount of rowing and a lot of water, shouting and emotions. Oh yes, and sun is biting crazily there - sunscreen again! (that one is more a reminder to myself...unfortunately:);
• If nothing works, use positive thinking. After all, melting is not always so bad!
